Jake Palumbo - Cobra Clutch (Still Holding Up) Lyrics

HOOK:

(I throw ya brain in the Cobra Clutch)
The humbleness is over
They think I'm sober when I'm high
Think I'm high, when I'm sober
Make $100,000, probably never drive a Rover
The rest can make you wanna dive
Off the Cliffs of Dover
The road's been rough, but so the fuck what
We still here holding up
Same plan, never change
Put the game in the Cobra Clutch
Till the whole globe knows what's up

VERSE 1:

District Selectman, my bulls*** I'm back at it
Full clip of kicks, count my failures & laugh at it
What else can you expect me to do?
When I'm broke, I'm probably still more effective than you
Too rich to quit now
But still struggle to pay rent
Still hit the slab soon as shoes hit the pavement
SpaceLAB - my hits & my chips made in basements
Had a fan base before any major placements
Select few can do what we do
Like Calvin Coolidge water-skiing in a SeaDoo
Instead I hit the slaloms in my nostrils, preposterous
Exotic pastas, with Bob Costas
Antidisestablismentarianism
Hands high on the stage, or your stereo system
Nowadays I'm playing Tetris on the hardest level
Gargamel demeanor, JP ain't got the heart to settle

(REPEAT HOOK)

VERSE 2:

I'm just a Southernplayalistic Bacharach making music
Bat-crack activist, please don't make me use it
Back catalog or new single, people choose it
Rough business, good p****, gotta work not to lose it
Stock ticker, tryna beat the clock ticker
I absorb liquor quick as Billy Joel's liver
Got a glimmer in my brown eyed soul, Hall & Oates
Your politics determined by the way your dollar votes
Mix it down analog, 2-inch to 2-Track
Put it on the street & generate your revenue back
Studio vet, I don't have to front to prove that
I'm the reason shitty rappers still sound pleasant sonically
It would take too long to catalog it chronologically
You probably owe me money, owe me props or an apology
Never went to college, but I was always very scholarly
Hood politician spending bands at the Dollar Tree

(REPEAT HOOK)
